   Both Square and PayPal are public and support "buying" of Crypto on their platforms. Coinbase is going to be IPOing soon into much fanfare.

   Signal can send SMS message as a fallback, but I don't think WhatsApp has that feature.

   Buy why can't they enable iCloud backup? What's so bad about uploading an encrypted blob to the cloud.

   IMO Telegram is more similar to Facebook Messenger than WhatsApp from a security and privacy standpoint. Both do not use end-to-end encryption by default (but both have a separate end-to-end encrypted private chat mode).

   One of the benefits of Signal is that it can also do SMS on Android, so it works great with people like you who insist on using that. Your SMS messages will appear right alongside the native Signal ones in the app.

   Matrix does have a feature called Bridges which would allow you to talk to someone on WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, etc. through your Matrix client. However, I suspect that they have some reliability issues. https://matrix.org&#x

   Recommendation algorithms are completely unrelated to summarization algorithms.

   I personally use Signal, but I think Session is great for the crowd that wants "Signal but without the phone number".

    I found the encryption really cumbersome. Like I just downloaded the app and its asking me to authorize my account from another Matrix client that I've previously signed into or I won't be able to read encrypted messages people se

    Seems to cost around $5 per month according to their website. It's already a tough sell when getting someone to switch to another free chat app.

    On Android there is an app called Delta Chat which is similar.

    I really don't understand why Signal doesn't just keep a encrypted backup in Google Drive/iCloud. This seems like such a solved problem and yet they instead invented their own Bluetooth sync thing for iOS and manually copying

    If there is going to be a debt fueled bubble I would prefer it to be in Bitcoin over something that actually matters like housing or education. If Bitcoin prices go up 10x nobody really cares. If housing prices go up 10x then people can&#x2

    One of the most common critiques of modern portfolio theory is that it defines risk by volatility rather than downside risk. While a stock will never have price-to-book multiple less than 1 (unless fraud has occurred) a cryptocurrency has n

    Well maybe you're right. But it does seem like Chromebooks and iPads are extremely popular in the education market. Both of which use the mobile versions of Office.

    What features of Microsoft Office do you think are missing on mobile that a typical student would be required to use in school?

    Office has a native version for Android with apparently over a hundred million downloads. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft....

    Are there not gun companies that would want to advertise on these gun channels? Seems like a lot of YouTube's problems would go away if they just allowed advertisers to choose which channels to show ads on.

    On the bright side GPT like models can also be used to produce summaries.

    I use an ad blocker, so I don't know about online ads. But I haven't seen ads on mainstream TV for any of those things in a very long time.

    Well good products don't need very much advertising.

    When the M1 chip was introduced I was a bit underwhelmed. Apple being so vague about their performance didn't exactly inspire confidence. But as more information has come out it seems like the hype has actually increased.

    I believe Signal did create their own crypto (which is also used now by apps like WhatsApp). The difference is that Signal's crypto was created by a trained cryptographer and seems to be generally respected in the cryptography communit

    I may be wrong but I don't believe Microsoft even has a dedicated Windows division any more.

    Yes, I understand. But if you can't install macOS in VM on Linux (on a Mac) then you most likely can't do it in a VM on macOS either.

    You also have to leave some room for ports.
